The built in encryption on OSX is FileVault, and in Lion it does full disk encryption.
The preferences vs registry thing just sounds like Windows was easier for you than OSX because you know Windows. The registry is a the very worst feature of Windows, and I don't know anyone that didn't learn computing on Windows that would dream of praising it.
Pick an app which is only distributed via the App Store. Say, the Blink SIP soft phone.
It looks like Blink will even give you a pre-configured and branded version if you want to approach them for a volume licence. http://icanblink.com/inquiries.phtml
As I say, the Mac is no more a walled garden than Windows or Linux. Software vendors can supply you with software any way the choose to on any of those platforms. Some obviously choose to only do so via the Mac App Store, because if you're an indie developer it's so much easier. But any app that's got the potential for enterprise use is going to be supplied by the company in a form that is accessible by the enterprise.
He's not trolling. Genuinely, most people that criticise Apple products have never actually tried them. One of the secrets of Apple's unprecedented success of the last 10 years is are the physical Apple Stores where people can go and try the products out for themselves.
It's spelled "cue". And he's giving the true verifiable facts against your delusions. Given that you are saying what you wished were true rather than what is actually true, it seems you are the fanboy. Though from that post we neither know nor care which particular company it is you're shilling for.
Given they've just released the 2nd largest results of any company in history, the "Apple is just circling the drain" comment seems to be monumentally delusional.
Next to that the comment "They all but abandoned their notebooks" is merely ludicrous. (Mac sales grew 20%, mostly notebooks, against a general PC trend which was down 9%.)
I don't doubt your anecdote at all. But the idea that other phones are in general easier to get working in a car is ridiculous. Either it's going to be a generic fit, and that's going to fit any phone,including the iPhone, just as easily. Or it's going to be a proprietary fit, and that's going to be for the iPhone.
Yes. Apple used to service the server market with rack-mounted Xserve servers, and a seperate build of OSX of servers. Then a few years ago they pulled out of the server market, withdrew the Xserves and rolled the server version of OSX into the main version.
You can run a workgroup or webserver from a Mac Mini. But Apple aren't really pursuing the enterprise server market any more.
The Mac isn't a walled garden. If software is suitable for enterprise use, then the software vendors will have a volume licensing option. The Mac App Store is designed to make finding, buying and installing apps easy for consumers. But it's not the only way of supplying Mac software.
How are wages not an issue when the wages they're earning are not commensurate to the amount of work they are doing and ultimately afford them a shitty life? According to these figures average urban apartment is $1063.82 for a 112.64 sq. m. apartment. Average Foxconn worker is earning $527 a month. Seems like a Foxconn worker could afford to live in a 50 sq. m. apartment if he spent over 50% of his income on rent, leaving less than $250 for food, utilities, and to support a family.
And what's wrong with that? This isn't the USA. Prices are not the same as the US. Expected living spaces are far smaller than expected in the US. Prices of food and utilities are not the same as the US.
Once again, this is above the average urban wage. And a factory job isn't one where you'd normally expect to earn as much as the average wage.
If they were making more, do you think they'd be living in tiny dormitories with 6 other people?
They are mostly single young people, in a culture where they will be sending as much money back to their parental family as possible. The company build the dorms as the the factories expand so fast they outpace the availability of private rental property. When I was starting out in the world of work, I'd have happily spent a while in a dorm to get me started. As it was I spent more than 50% of my above average salary for an apartment in London.
Again, wages are not amongst the issues at the Foxconn factories.
No, what's funny is the fact that you think you have. But in actual fact all you have ever done is contradict. You have not presented one fact, or one actual, logical argument, to support your case.
Nor will I be presenting any for evolution, or smoking causing cancer. Or for that matter, considering the first signatory on the paper, for asbestos causing asbestosis. There's really no need to humour cranks. Just take the piss out of them.
I don't see any "shouting" anywhere. And why should anybody need to support me? Unlike you, I can formulate my own arguments, and back them with actual facts.
The capitals equate to shouting. And the "no one likes your kind" comment is an attempt to speak for others. I rest my case.
It's not that I'm being pedantic. It's that I object to people criticising others based on suppositions and exaggerations rather than facts. And so I choose to make fun of them.
The average urban wage in China equates to about $425. About $14 per day. These Foxconn workers are earning $17 a day. Above average wages.
Once again, wages are not an issue at the Foxconn factories. There are issues there, but you've got entirely the wrong end of the stick about what the issues are.
Bryan's charge sheet read: "During secondary examination Mr Bryan was placed under oath and his sworn statement was taken by CBP Officer Wahmann. Mr Bryan confirmed that he had posted on his Tweeter website account that he was coming to the United States to dig up the grave of Marilyn Monroe.
"Also on his tweeter account Mr Bryan posted that he was coming to destroy America."
Just because a Foxconn worker is making 1000x more than a Chinese farmer peasant doesn't somehow absolve the fact that the Foxconn worker making 1000x than a McDonald's burgar flipper in the states.
The typical Foxconn worker is earning $17 a day.
A typical chinese farmer is earning more than 1.7c per day. And a typical burger flipper, even in the US, is earning less than $17,000 a day.
This isn't being pedantic. The facts do actually matter. And wages are not a problem at Foxconn.
Chips, yes. Chips are tiny and light, and packed for OEMs, are efficient for space.
Given that Apple ship lots of their finished products (phones, laptops) by air from the far east, then yes, not only are chips shipped by air, it would be foolish to ship by boat if there was the slightest chance that it might ever delay production.
A lot of us said as much when the fools in Washington first uttered the words, "service economy". Services, such as fast food restaurants, are somewhat important to the economy. But, you don't BUILD a freaking economy around something that amounts to nothing more than a support industry.
Was that Regan by any chance? Buecause Thatcher did exactly the same to the UK economy - destroyed manufacturing in the name of "service industries".
Then Linux and its utilities and all the desktop stuff must be full of malware, right?
It's had more than closed source OSX has.
Because nobody ever looks at code, right?
I didn't say nobody. The Linux kernel has lots of eyes. But most open source software is not the Linux kernel, and most of it is never code reviewed.
You can be sarcastic all you want. That's all you've got, because what I've said is true. And if you're a developer you'll know it. If you're only a user you might not realise it though.
Scientists backing evolution and gravity do not go about saying "It's true because so-and-so, and all his cronies, say it's true!" On the contrary; they back those ideas because of the overwhelming evidence in favor of those theories.
As usual you don't understand. Of course scientists have published all the evidence for evolution and gravity, and for AGW too. But when idiots come on message boards claiming evolution is false or gravity doesn't exist, they don't waste their time debating it. Nor should they waste time debating it with idiot AGW deniers like you.

That seems to be an isolated incident of an engineer, not a factory worker, so no, it is not the same.
What was it you didn't understand about "engineers and factory workers" in paragraphs 2 and 4.
And that was just a random pick of the many articles that Google returned.
If you think the working conditions are any better at HTC than Foxconn, you're deluding yourself.

Its hardly besides the point when your suggestion was to raise the wages of workers.
Chips, yes. Chips are tiny and light, and packed for OEMs, are efficient for space.
Given that Apple ship lots of their finished products (phones, laptops) by air from the far east, then yes, not only are chips shipped by air, it would be foolish to ship by boat if there was the slightest chance that it might ever delay production.
There isn't a problem with pay. Focconn workers are well paid by Chinese standards.
